Talks

1st TALK: "The case for Progressive Web"

The mobile web is slow and we've become accustomed to developing large and complex applications with powerful desktop and laptop machines. 73% of mobile internet users say that they’ve encountered a website that was too slow to load. The world of front end development is evolving continuously with more client-side heavy applications and with this, bundle sizes for many JS frameworks can be huge. This can significantly affect loading times, especially on a mobile device with a poor connection.

❯ PRPL Pattern

This talk will cover the concept behind the PRPL pattern, what it is and how you can use it to build a fast and reliable progressive single-page application.

We’ll talk about how you can:

• Push the most important resources first

• Render your initial route as soon as possible

• Pre-cache resources for all your routes using a Service Worker

• Lazy load your remaining routes so that they load on demand

2nd Talk: "Code once, deploy everywhere with Ionic"

Hybrid mobile app development has come a long way in recent years, to the point that many, if not most, types of applications can be built with standard Web technologies. We will review what the Web has to offer in 2017 and how Ionic and Angular can help building world class applications on many platforms with only Web technologies.

3rd. Talk : "Angular Forms"

Forms are probably the most sensitive part of your web app. They are the main way we get data from the user. They seem simple enough, you just add an ngForm to your template, user clicks Submit and you have data. But there's more to them than that, and we're going to talk about that in this session. We'll try building forms in 2 ways: FormControls and FormBuilder. We'll then proceed to add Validations to one of the forms, touching on available Validations and then creating our custom one. We'll then look at the EventEmitter Observable and handle changes to our form.
